Simon and Mary hats

Simon & Mary is a heritage brand established in 1935. The hat roots were first planted in South Africa when Mordechai Pozniak (Simon's father) brought his cap company and grew it into one of Africa's most renowned wool felt hat manufacturing plants. Simon's wife Leah (whom he lovingly coined Mary after reading a novel) joined the business working alongside Simon and attending to all non-manufacturing needs. In 1973, Simon's youngest son, Julian, eagerly entered the business in 2008, heads the brand & factory with the aim of continuing the legacy created by Simon.
